    Five things that Irritate me about modern day football....

    Points 3 & 5 I think we can sum up modern day football in one word......Sanitised. It's been sanitised to within an inch of its life. Fans have been, and continue to be rinsed, Americanisms creeping in all the time (FYI its counter-attacking, not an offense or high press) Also, anyone else...

    Five things that Irritate me about modern day football....

    100% this - Goalies catching the ball under no pressure and then collapsing on the floor to waste time. Get up man... Entitlement of some players Players who roll around like dicks The sheer cost of football these days Commentators/presenters/pundits who seem to have a poor grasp of grammar -...

    The stadium that bankrupted a football club

    Happened to Bury FC. Steve Dale absolutely destroyed them and the FA/EFL should take a lot of responsibility for their demise. Not fit to be an owner.

    Finally approved

    Ready....? TWO YEARS for me before I eventually gave up and started from scratch (after emailing admin). I used to be on the old forum for years in and out but when it moved I didnt go with it initially!

    Places you ended up living but never thought you would??

    Peterhead was definitely "interesting" in the 90s.

    Yesterday's airport nonsense

    The way the airline would look at it is they give you a departure time and you agree to it. Regardless of any disruption, the onas is on the passenger to present themselves for boarding when the flight is ready. Unfortunately, you wouldn't be entitled to any compensation or expenses. Also, I...

    RAF documentary Ch. 4

    Based on what I hear from inside the walls now, I wouldnt hold out much hope for us being able to fight at all!

    Things nobody said in the 80’s….and go

    "I'm offended you would ask me to play out on a muddy field, with a ball...and with other lads....what the hell? Nooooo I'll stay in and look at how many likes I got on a SM post thank you!"

    Who's going down from the Prem?

    I've been saying to my mates for a few weeks I reckon Leeds will get sucked into this. I think Saints have gone which will cue a scramble for Ward-Prowse. I think Everton will go and I think Leeds with them. I really did hope West Ham would go but moyes seems to have been able to dig them out...

    Things nobody said in the 80’s….and go

    "Can I get..." is one of my bugbears. Grates on me. No you can HAVE one, but you cant get over the counter and get it yourself ffs! As previously mentioned, it's SERIES not SEASON. "Reaching out" to someone....dear lord.....can you not just get in touch with them? "Switching up"...wtf does that...

    Why does John Foster insist on blasting out 'Freed from Desire' literally a second after the referee blows for FT?

    100% this! The high press, the offence, the multiple pointless ad breaks on sky when watching at home to get more sponsors in, rebranded EPL to suit world markets..the list goes on. It's only my opinion but its happening in the UK a lot. SUVs People who say Seasons instead of Series for...

    Why does John Foster insist on blasting out 'Freed from Desire' literally a second after the referee blows for FT?

    I also am not sure how Gala has become the "go to anthem" these days..I can only assume its the "na na na na na naaaa naa" bit for the crowd. It wasnt a great track back in 91 and I'm sick of hearing the opening bars of it EVERY TIME any football match is on, be it WSL, Champ, PL, Euros...I wish...

    Hi all Here's my predicted final table - I've tried to be objective as possible. Here's the link to try it yourself! I've got us to draw with Luton and beat Coventry on the last day. I've got Luton to lose to Blackburn 2-1. https://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/eng-championship/

    Everton’s run in

    I have no real ill feeling towards Everton - they are "the dogs of war" for a reason and I think, like many here, they'll stay up by the skin of their teeth.....West Ham on the other hand....I'd take a front row seat to watch them get relegated. All this crap about "the west ham way"..b***ks...
